If  I'M the manager, supervisor  I'm going to give her the choice to go home, change and come back to work... Even when jobs have a dress code, like mine does you get people that think they don't have to adhere to the rules... If  I'm not the manager , I'm going to let the supervisors/managers do the job they getting paid to do and enforce the rules, and handle those that don't... Will say my job has gotten better.. They let a lot of people go last week.. Bout time

Chose A. Pull her aside and tell her to go home and change, and not wear that to work. My boss would straight up terminate her, at least I’m giving her the chance to keep her job.

susie22 · Answer

My workplace does not have a "dress code" per se, but it's assumed both male and female employees dress in what is basically a "smart casual" manner, which we all do. My workplace is about 80% male, and my Supervisor is male, but I've never heard any complaints by either co-workers or my boss, short skirts and high heels or not, lol!! In my mind, my attire has absolutely nothing to do with my job performance, which, according to my Manager has been "exemplary", so there's that. I dress in what I'm comfortable in and look attractive in, and that has nothing to do with my work.

scentoflavender · Answer

I've had similar things happen over the years. Usually I know the girls i hire pretty well before I hire them. This is because if I have to be around them all day every day, I want it to be a pleasant experience. Anyhow the point to knowing them is it gives me an idea of why there may be some inappropriate attire. Most of the time it's been because they were crushing on one of the guys. Were not open to the public so it's not a huge issue, but underwater is required in the employee handbook, even when wearing a skirt and you've been seeing out ground guy.

TheorionMage · Answer

It is oft quoted: "Dress for the job you WANT, NOT the job you presently have." Pragmatism suggests sans OTHER consequences, you'd assist her to ACHIEVE the job she's apparently CONSCIOUSLY 'interviewing' for. BUT...

in reality, in our officiously HYPOCRITICAL prevailing culture... a 'wise' man discretely 'admires the scenery' despite aching to "let ONE's fingers do the walking" like so often documented in readily available Asian erotica.

DESPITE YOUR 'monkey' wanting to make HER circumstances YOUR fantasy 'circus'!

Jean-Marie_Céline · Answer

Uhm. I'm generally a very tolerant boss, but I would tell her that her clothing is inappropriate for the workplace and tell her to go home and get changed. I don't enforce a dressing code like my father does, but I still ask for the clothing to be appropriated for the setting. I give a lot of leeway and let everyone be comfortable in what they wear the most, but naturally I put some limits.

CasuallySamsonite · Answer

If I am the manager in the situation, I will be professional and handle the situation privately and directly. Otherwise, probably not care. Either way, look her in the eyes and be chill. Just because someone else is unprofessional is no excuse for me to be as well.

That said, who cares? I mean because deep down, I have a suspicion that everybody is actually fully naked under our clothing anyways. Then again, maybe I'm weird because I spent some time living with nudists in a very non-sexual context.

Tunasub · Answer

Well I as a coworker wouldn't do a damn thing because it's not my responsibility and I would do my job as assigned.

Now me as a supervisor/manager I would call her into the office with another supervisor and reminder her of the dress code again and show her that she signed saying she understood the proper dress requirements as per the employee handbook. Depending on the number of occurrences a verbal or written warning would be going into her file.

Then I would send her home to change or she could use personal or vacation time if she didn't want to return..

Xoirwinkan · Answer

I have only worked physical jobs, so it hasn't really been an issue. If it did happen, depending on how well I know her, I would comment on it, maybe in a teasing way, like "who are you trying to seduce today?"
Funny to remember, I actually worked with a girl one summer outdoors, and since it was very hot she took off her outer shirt so she was only in a skimpy under-blouse. Since she was the only girl working there, however, her boyfriend who was also working with us told her rather sternly to put it back on.

SaoirseS · Answer

Send her home to change. It's a funeral home for heaven's sake! No need for her to show she has two more cheeks to powder and another bunch of hair to comb. Fortunately it's never been an issue.

SpiderManFan2002 · Answer

It’s not my business what others wear, so I wouldn’t say anything. Doesn’t mean I’d ignore her though, like if she wanted to speak to me I wouldn’t ignore her just because of what she wears.

Cherry234 · Answer

I wouldn't do what Jimmy Dore did and be an asshole about her clothing but I would politely tell her that her outfit is inappropriate and that it isn't proper to wear at the workplace. Clothing like that should be reserved for a party, going to a club, going to the beach, etc. I believe people should have the freedom to wear what they want but there's a time and a place for it. No one should be dressed like that at work

Jazquee · Answer

Tell her to go home and change it is not appropriate work attire. Next time she will be going home for day unpaid.  Bothers me that work ediquett has just gone to shit these days

lakotabebebe · Answer

I would warn her that what she's wearing might make a manager mad or get her harassed by male employees and offer to help protect her if possible. I don't care how she dresses, I just don't want her hurt or in trouble for it. Least I can do is make sure no. perverts stare at her...

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I'll enjoy the view and try to still get as much work done as possible :)
As I'm (meanwhile) usually in a guiding or supervising function, I'll need to make sure that work goals are achieved, and work group coordination is undisturbed.
The only ''inappropriate'' clothing I can think of is causing safety risks.

420Rachel · Answer

Well at my job we wear uniforms so they would either be told to go home and change or fired if they refused. 😂 We can't even have more than two buttons unbuttoned on our work shirts.

Neko911 · Answer

I don't really care. If probably be that chick wearing the stuff I shouldn't so

Ez-Bri-Z · Answer

I'll assume I am actually working and not staring at people ending over around me regardless if it is intentional on their end or not. Most times, I will have music going and locking in I forget other people exist at all.

keniyaa · Answer

me personally I would ignore it but my parents would probably be talking about her i don't dress like that thou I am well mannered when you out with me you will see me in a dress or some decent clothes for a lady boo boo

shortster · Answer

I would just keep working; I've got 10 instruments that need my attention. I don't have time to police the dress code. Nor is it my responsibility to do so. I just hope that they don't have a lab accident dressed like that. Chemical burns are no joke.

GrimmGothBabe · Answer

Tbh i would be that person cuz I dress for myself based off my mood and weather and whats clean and ready to wear with minimal effort. However if there is a dress code for the job I do stick to it so eh.

menina · Answer

I guess I would ignore and keep working. It's her body and her life, she's the one who knows what to wear.
However judging by the way society treats women, I guess she would either be made fun of or she would be harassed.

MotorcycleMan · Answer

Well, that's going to depend on my role. As a co-worker, probably not a damn thing. As a manager, I might have to have HR enforce any dress code she may be in violation of, if she is indeed in violation of any.

Juxtapose · Answer

You don't understand what happened dude. He saw her unclothed pussy. No panties, her literal fucking vagina. His boss exposed herself in front of him. She is lucky she did not get sued.

alice55 · Answer

Completely ignore it and keep working  I don't give a shit about it unless she's saying something about me then I'm gonna tell her she dress inappropriately for work but if not I won't say anything.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

Have her manager remind her of the dress code, have her reread and resign employee handbook. She will work rest of day and next day come back suitably attired.

Slartybartfast · Answer

I was a network engineer at a call center, you would not believe the outfits some women wear to work. It's like prom night at the projects, or Walmart new years day.

kidvid80 · Answer

IAMNathanael · Answer

I don't really care. I just go to work to do my job. Well, unless it concerns safety I wouldn't give a flip.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I wouldn't make a big stink but before she leaves from her shift and I was her manager I would ask her to please wear clothes that are appropriate also depends if she's a good worker

When I work, I am there to do my work. It is none of my business what another person wears or does.

pleasestopthis · Answer

Nothing. I'm not anybody's manager, and if the boss isn't concerned with her choice of clothes then I don't see a reason to become involved.

Alejandro3000 · Answer

Talk to management and not work near that person anymore until they change their behaviour.

bolverk · Answer

Been there, dealt with that. It is a 'just ignore and carry on with your own work',  it is up to Management/HR to deal with this kind of thing.

Pete671 · Answer

F - I'd somehow encourage her, to provide fuel for the wank bank, whilst raising my own sartorial standards,,,

SupremeWarlord · Answer

Well I'll be honest, I'll be looking at her assets and enjoying the view, so I would not say anything obviously.
